Hopefully Shinbo won't play too much on his signature directing skills. I like Shinbo's older stuff (starship girl yamamoto Yohko, triangle hearts sweet song forever) but I think he goes overboard in Pani Poni Dash. A little of his signature directing skills is great, but doing too much actually make the show bad.

What are the odds that this show will take over the Star Driver timeslot in Spring 2011? It's MBS and Aniplex, and it has pretty high profile staffers. Seems pretty likely?

Come to think of it, if the show could've been mistaken for an Anime no Chikara one, it should be good enough to be in the 5pm slot. wow, can't believe I just wrote that

Joking aside, I can see it. Aniplex might be looking to replicate the same success as Bakemonogatari here with SHAFTXShinobo and maybe generate publicity in the opposite direction when they fail to finish the episodes in time to have more people watch the timeslot and the genre would certainly attract a wider demographic. But I'm worried about that to be honest.

(If it does take over after Star Driver, then this will be a Spring 2011 show?)
